I’ve seen fiberglass repairs reinforcing an Avanti’s inner door structure… but I always thought those repairs were done ‘in the field’ after car was sold…. I’m not really sure about that. Anyway, I was looking for three items other than added fiberglass reinforcement, the protective wiring shield in the door hinge area being one.

It sure did!!… But what was ‘added’ to help remedy this?

Yes!… the protective cable housing is one! Two more …..?

Can anyone name three flaws in ‘early’ Stude Avanti power window systems which Studebaker identified and corrected later during the Avanti production run?

Come to think of it, the torque converter itself must have been reworked with the welded on Studebaker engine flex plate replaced by a flex plate (ring gear) compatible with the Chevrolet engines.

Not exactly related, but I agree with the questionable quality of new production starter bendix assemblies…. I recently went to the trouble of replacing the starter bendix assy on a ‘49 Stude Champion, and ended up having to do the job twice! ……Although the starter would spin properly, the new bendix would not ‘throw out’ into the flywheel teeth… The starter would just spin…. The second bendix replacement seems to be working OK.

The parking brake switch could be faulty, or out of adjustment… or wire may have bad contact at proportioning valve.

A ‘64 Studebaker Avanti was displayed there, then the ‘68 Avanti ll was next in line.

Four is the number!

Yes!…Good thinking!!

No ideas on this? (easy one!)

Not three Dwight!

Sorry no, not five!

My pleasure!…: Engineering that bellhousing had to be pricey!
